Abstract

This paper examines the role of cultural heritage in the development of smart cities, focusing on the role of digital technology in enhancing the preservation, management, accessibility and sustainability of heritage sites. Utilizing a twofold methodological approach that combines a bibliometric analysis and a critical literature review, the study analyzes existing academic papers to evaluate the opportunities and challenges associated with smart technologies—such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and big data—in the preservation, accessibility, and promotion of cultural heritage. Through this dual analysis, key themes emerge regarding the enhancement of citizen engagement, innovative heritage management practices, and the cultural preservation in smart city contexts. This paper contributes to the discourse on sustainable smart city development by emphasizing the importance of a balanced, heritage-sensitive approach to urban digitalization, advocating for policies that support both technological advancement and cultural integrity aimed at supporting sustainable and inclusive urban development.
